In a gritty battle at Leichhardt Oval, Wests Tigers have solidified their dominance in the Jersey Flegg Cup's top four with a hard-fought 30-16 victory over the Warriors in Round 15.
The game saw Vaka Aho, a force to be reckoned with in the front-row, bulldoze his way through the defensive line to increase Wests Tigers' lead.
Despite the Warriors striking back before halftime, the visitors managed to level the scores early in the second half.
However, a slick pass from Kobie Wilson set up Junior Wright for a crucial try in the left corner, reclaiming a lead that Wests Tigers defended until the final whistle.
Wilson, who was in a league of his own on the field, orchestrated Te Umuariki Heremia-Tukere's try with a spot-on grubber kick, while Iverson Matai's pinpoint pass saw the talented centre cross the try line for the second time in the game.
A late consolation try for the Warriors was a mere formality as Wests Tigers emerged triumphant with a 30-16 victory.
The team's performance showcased their determination, skill, and unwavering commitment to success in the game of Rugby League.
